Two-Dimensional Cutting

Nests rectangular parts on sheets to minimize offcuts.

Supported rules and limits

Orthogonal rectangular placement with explicit rotations, nonoverlap, boundaries, eligibility, weight and horizontal clearance.

Version 1.0.0 is a release candidate. Confirm supported rules before integrating.

  • No optimality guarantee; construction can leave feasible items unplaced
  • Axis-aligned rectangles/boxes only; size and position use x,y
  • No irregular shapes, cut sequence, guillotine-cut or center-of-mass/axle balance constraints
  • 3D stacks require full support on a single lower box and propagate supported weights; no bridges or mechanical stability prediction

What you can optimize

  • Material waste
  • Cut complexity

Typical applications

  • Glass
  • Furniture panels
  • Sheet metal
